Magistral-Small-2509-NVFP4-GGUF

GGUF quantization of mistralai/Magistral-Small-2509 — a 24B multimodal reasoning model fine-tuned from Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506. Optimized for agentic coding, tool calling, and multi-step reasoning with vision support.

Quantized to NVFP4 format for efficient inference with minimal quality loss.

About NVFP4

NVFP4 is NVIDIA's native 4-bit floating-point format (E4M3) for Blackwell GPUs. It stores weights in FP4 with a shared per-block scale, enabling native Blackwell tensor core acceleration with no dequantization overhead during inference.

Quantization Pipeline

1. Download source weights
   huggingface_hub.snapshot_download("mistralai/Magistral-Small-2509")

2. Convert text model to F16 GGUF
   convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16

3. Extract vision encoder
   convert_hf_to_gguf.py --mmproj --outtype f16

4. Quantize to NVFP4
   llama-quantize magistral-small-2509-f16.gguf magistral-small-2509-nvfp4.gguf NVFP4

Note: This model requires mistral-common to be installed for tokenizer conversion:

pip install mistral-common[image,audio]
